THE SOLDIER BOY FROM MAINE.
ny MAJOR JOHN DRysoN.


While an inmate of lexington Hospital,
Washington, d. O., in the Fall of 1869, a
young man from the State of Maine ocov-
pied cot near me In the same ward his
patience and sublime fsrtltude under in
tense suffering endsared him to all inmates
Of the hospital Through neglect on the
battlefield his wounds had become putrd
and very offensive, and nothing could be
done to effect cure. The surgeon saw that
death was inevitable and he had telegram
sent to his mother, unknown 10 the patient,
who came just In time to see him die, as
teld In the following lines:
Ona little cot beside me,
A wounded soldier lay,
His hollow cheek and sunken eye
Showed symptoms Of decay.
Yet, though he suffered greatly,
- lie never did complain,
Ne truer soldier ever marched
From the wooded hills of Maine.
He was widows only son,
And we often wondered why
He did net write TO tell her
That his end was drawing nigh.
When asked he said, 81 do not wish
To give my mother pain,
But, oh long TO SEQ her
And the wooded hills Of Maine
One day he called us to him,
Though he could but family speak,
And little tear, the first he'd shed,
Lay glittering on his cheek.
He said, II feel I'm gsing, boys,
meier shall see again
My mothers vine.clad cottage
On the wooded hills Of Maine"
Look here, beneath my pillow,
Is a book I've often read,
Please send 1t home to neither
And tell her when I'm dead =.
I've tried to keep It's precepts,
And TO die to me Is gain,
will meet her In u land more fair
Than the pineclad hills Of Maine"
These words were scarcely spoken,
When through an open door
A stranger matron Joined our group,
And scanned his features DER.
Then with a scream Of anguish
She wildly did exclaim,
"Oh Tell me soldiers can this be
My soldier boy from Manner"
Mother" he said "don'tyou knew meg"
This was all that he could speak
While the life blood for moment
Mounted to his pallid cheek,
And the mother bending DER him
Pressed him to her arms again,
But the spirit had departed
From the soldier boy frsm Maine.

President Cleveland on Mixed Schools.


Mr.. G.. A. Sullivan, editor of the Mont
gomery (Va) Democrat, recently wrote to
President Cleveland inquiring in regard TO
the truth of a report that Mr.. Cleveland,
while Governor OF New York. approved a
bill autlI6gzing mixed schools in that State.
In replying to MIR. Sullivan's inquiry,
President Cleveland writes: "The only
bill that / know of being passed and APP
proved of on that subject. while | was Gov
ernor, was one affecting the city Of Now
York, and had precisely the contrary eff
fect-that u.s. the purpose and object was to
retain the colored schools separate and dis
tinct from those for the whites. Mr..
Nelson j. Waterbury, of New York city,
l think, drew the bill, and Prof. Rasin,
superintendent Of colored schools and
Rev. Mr.. Derrick, both of New York city,
advocated it strongly The school board Of
New York city had determined TO CONSOLE
date their schools with the white schools,
and the bill took it out of the control of the
board, so that it should not be done IL was
strongly urged before me that separate
schools were of much more benefit to the
colored people than mixed schools. / APP
proved the bill, and suppose in the city of
New York colored schools are separately
maintained to-day by virtue Of its provis-
ions. | have thus given you all j remember
on the subject OF your inquiry. have been
much surprised at hearing before the receipt
of your letter that this matter has been 50
grossly misrepresented."

Fun HEN DlSSOLUTE TIRE.
"She was shipped from New York to In
dianaapolis as baggage. A tag was tied to
her shoulder and she was sent through in
charge of the train hands to her aunt there
after her mother died suddenly here
The aunt refused to receive the little waif
and she was returned to the freight depot.
There | saw her sitting on trunk and cry
ing bitterly. There we're several New York
men coming East that day, and we Clipped
in and brought the child with us. A coll
lection was taken up on the train, and it
panned out SO well that we had enough to
buy her stand and stock it we'll MY wife
found her boarding place in the family of
our butcher, where she pays 81 week. She
seldom clears less than Sc a week, and we
have taught her how to keep accounts. I
never met a 15-year-old girl who knew half
as much as the Midget-and, by the way,
the name was bestowed on her by the West
ern newspapers when she went out there as
freight. It has chung to her ever since, and
| have advised her to use it from business
motives, as she may as well profit by her
notoriety; then, if she develops into some
thing better than a newsgirl, she can use her
own name and no one will ever identify her
with the indianapolis Midget.
Another instance of the extreme maturity
of New Yorks little girls occurs to me. A
very dissipated and rakish-looking old man
was confronted by his ragged daughter on
the corner of Sixth avenue and Twenty first
street just as he was steering unsteadily for
his home. The girl, who was between and
Z years old, looked at him contemptuously.
"You-make-me-tir tired" she said with
heavy emphasis on every word.
I'm feelin' little queer, Nellie"

leaving her home till she gets well again.

They went on talking in quiet and con-
fidential way about their dolls until had
climbed over the plank and got out of hear

vailed. That is feature of half the chill
dren in town; they are everything but hap
py. The more knowing among Them do all
sorts of manual labor and do it well. l
know of a newsdealer on Broadway, Just
below Fulton street, who had taught little
girl to sell papers rapidly and effectually, al
though the child is scarcely able to talk.
She is a chubby-faced girl, and her hands
are scarcely big enough to pick up two pen

stand surrounded by papers, with a cigar
box full Of change in her lap. Her big
bright eyes run from face to face, and when
a customer comes along she beams on him
with unmistakable friendliness and well
come He selects his papers, hands her the
com, and she thrusts her chubby fists into
the box and counts out his change with
rapidity and unerring precision. Very
often the novel sight starts a line of custom
ers, and half dozen men will gather
around looking and larking with the little
girl. She never loses her head, however,
and she probably makes as much money for
her mother as any 5-yearold in town.
One day last week was on the point of
buying some papers from big newsstand
near the elevated road when a big, benev-
olent and good-natured dry goods man with
whom have slight acquaintance came
along and seizing me by the arm said:

In front of a bank was a small stand
sheltered by pretty striped awning, neatly
painted and scrupuously neat. A small
brass railing which ran along the edge of
the stand was polished till it shone like the

orderly row under paper weights that were
decorated with the initials 81. Nj, ;" lndicat-
ing, doubtless, the Indianapolis Midget. Be
hind the counter was the child herself. She
is years old. Her hair was arranged in
glossy braids and she wore big white apron
over her dark frock A pencil half as long
as her arm was balanced behind her ear,
and her dark little face was twisted into a
business-lille scowl as she talked to a small
and adoring negro of about her oyn age
who was looking at her with big and awe
stricken eyes.

New YORK, Sept 10-The little women
of New York are as old in experience and
manner in many instances as the stalwart
girls and full grown young women of lesser
towns. There is something about the high
pressure rate at which they live that sharp
ems the faculties Of the children. Old
fashioned girls are the rule in the slums. A
few days ago | came in on Long Branch
boat and was cutting through small and ex-
ceeding disreputablb street in the lower part
of town when was brought to a stop by
plank stretched across the street from
truck to the door of a warehouse. On this
plank sat three little girls. None of them
were over years or under 4. Their clothes
were ragged, but there was a certain effort
at adornment, and one of them was survey
ing her feet with great coInplacency. She
wore an enormous pair of bronze CATERS,
which had evidently been picked out of an
ash barrel UP town. They were at least five
sizes too large for the child, but she had tied
them on with strings and bits of colored
ribbon and was as proud of them as though
they fitted perfectly. One of the other girls
had a bottle in her arms, which she was
nursing tenderly. There was sort of a
burlesque gown on the bottle and the neck
was surmounted by a queer little imitation
of a hat, twisted out of common feed
straw.
You'd better step light" she said to me.
IN warning tone, "er y'll wake the baby"
"What baby!" asked.
